The present disclosure is directed to surface modified materials such as stationary phase materials for performing size exclusion chromatography. Aspects of the present disclosure feature materials surface modified with a moiety including a polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionality and a moiety comprising a diol functionality. Such surface modified materials exhibit a reduced propensity for ionic and hydrophobic secondary interactions.

Method and systems are disclosed for the removal of metal contaminants from aqueous mediums. In an example, a chamber contains activated sorptive media and a primary ligand and optionally, a secondary ligand that has been loaded onto the activated sorptive media using hydraulic loading. A pre-treatment of the sorptive media, a specific volume of the activated sorptive media within the chamber, specific pH ranges of aqueous mediums, and hydraulic loading of the primary ligand and optionally, a secondary ligand, known as dynamic fluidized loading. Pore pressures of the seeding solution within the media are at least sufficient to overcome the gravitational forces acting on the media within the column. The methods and systems provide a highly uniform and predictable loading of the primary ligand and optionally, the secondary ligand, onto the activated sorptive media throughout the sorptive media for effective sorption and increased capacity for metal removal from aqueous mediums.

A water purification chamber is provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises a purification chamber comprising a selective adsorbent activated carbon fiber fabric including one or more selective functional groups that bind arsenic.

Chromatography resins having mixed mode ligands and methods of using such resins are provided.

The present invention relates to a multimodal adsorption medium, in particular a multimodal chromatography medium, a method for its production, as well as use of the adsorption medium according to the invention or an adsorption medium produced according to the invention for the purification of biomolecules.

A filtration device for an air purification appliance includes a first filtering cartridge structure containing a classic absorbent or adsorbent material selected from activated carbon or zeolite and a second, different filtering cartridge structure holding a filtering medium consisting of a specific adsorbent material which is porous and functionalized with at least one probe molecule in such a way as to trap aldehyde-type chemical contaminants.

Compositions that can be used to adsorb low concentration, of unwanted or target substances from a dynamic fluid stream or from an enclosed static vapor phase. Such adsorbency can be obtained with thermoplastic materials used in the form of bulk polymer or a film, fiber, web, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, sheet, packaging and other such structures including or surrounding the enclosed volume. The concentration should be reduced to non-offensive sensed limits or a limit that does not produce a biological response.

The disclosure provides a capture system and methods for isolating cysteine-containing peptides from biological fluid and proteolytic mixtures. The disclosure also provides compounds of formulae (II), (III), and (IV), useful in methods of the invention. ##STR00001##
